Getting started

Firstly, don't forget to add this in your container layout :

xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"

Here is an exemple using an AnimatedGradientTextView. I just put in my xml layout :

<com.mursaat.extendedtextview.AnimatedGradientTextView
	...
	app:colors="@array/funny_colors"
	app:simultaneousColors="4"
	app:angle="45"
	app:speed="1000"
	app:maxFPS="30"
	app:customFont="BebasNeue.otf" 
	/>

All these parameters are optionals. Some explanations :

• colors : It must reference an array of colors in res/values/attr.xml, for example :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
	...
    <array name="funny_colors">
        <item>@color/materialRed</item>
        <item>@color/materialLime</item>
        <item>@color/materialOrange</item>
        <item>@color/materialPurple</item>
    </array>
</resources>

• simultaneousColors : The number of colors (of the array) possibly displayed in a same time
• angle : The angle of the color gradient
• speed : A number in milliseconds. Increase this number will decrease the gradient move speed
• customFont : Must be a name of a font located in assets/fonts folder
• maxFPS : Define how many times the gradient should refresh each second. (Default : 24 FPS)
